Shirley Buller, Managing Director
Blackfoot Hosting have been in business since 1999. We started by designing and hosting an extreme sports website for our first customer who is still with us today.
During the last 10 years we have grown at a steady pace and now host thousands of websites for clients around the world on our fast high power servers across 3 London Data centres. We offer a range of hosting plans for personal and business users all including the feature rich Cpanel control panel with generous amounts of web space and bandwidth.
Along with our competitive prices our additional services such as Domain registration and transfer, SSL certificates and SEO Programs mean that we are a one stop shop for our clients’ hosting requirements. We have introduced some powerful VPS plans which have proved popular as a smooth upgrade path for our resellers and Partners.
Our success is mainly due to our passion for the business and the dedication of our support team.
